Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010007110A2] The invention relates to the field of physics and relates to a thermoelectric component that can be used for example as an energy converter or as a thermionic cooler. The aim of the claimed invention consists of designing a thermoelectric component in which energy is converted in an efficient manner. Said aim is achieved due to the fact that the claimed thermoelectric component comprises: a) for using the Peltier-Seebeck based operating principle, two or more separated or common thin layers that are rolled up by means of the roll-up technique, each layer consisting of a p- and an n-doped semi-conductor material and said layers being connected together in a meandering type manner via electric contacts; b) for using the thermionic operating principle, a multi-layer structure that consists of a thin layer structure, rolled up by means of the roll-up technique, and made of a p-doped semi-conductor material, an electric, non-conductive barrier layer that is applied thereto, and a thin layer made of an n-doped semi-conductor material and that is applied thereto. No direct material contact between the p- and n-doped semi-conductor material is established.
